I’m getting married or entering a domestic partnership
Congratulations on this new stage in life! Getting married or starting a domestic partnership gives you the opportunity to change your benefits coverage. This is a big life event, so make sure your coverage meets your needs.
Your Checklist
Here are important actions to take as a result of your big event.
step
01
Contact your local HR representative
They can help you update your martial status as well as your employee profile if you change your name, address or emergency contact and update your tax withholding, if necessary.
step
02
Review your options and compare costs
Does your spouse/domestic partner already have coverage? Nestlé offers four medical plans. Each offer similar coverage but differ in how much you pay per paycheck, your deductible and what type of savings or spending account you can use.
step
03
Enroll within 60 days
You must make these changes within 60 days of your marriage or domestic partnership. The effective date of the change goes into effect the day the qualifying life event is reported/processed. Log in to nestle.ehr.com or call the Nestlé Benefits Service Center at 1-877-637-2255, option #2.
step
04
Update your beneficiaries and dependents
for both employee programs and outside accounts (such as savings) if appropriate. Documentation will be needed.
step
05
Revise your Health Savings Account (HSA)
by logging in to nestle.ehr.com. If you’re already enrolled in an HSA, you can update your contribution at any time.
step
06
Remember to submit proper documentation
In order to add a spouse or dependent to your benefits coverage, proper documentation must be submitted within 60 days of the qualifying life event. However, no documents are required in order to drop an individual from your benefits coverage.
Other helpful resources
Nestlé offers additional programs to support you and your eligible spouse/partner.

If you enroll your new spouse/domestic partner in Nestlé medical benefits, they may earn up to $500 in Healthy Rewards for completing two healthy steps.
